I think it's terrible the nhs gets a bad name sure we need and deserve funding from the government if they only knew how hard the staff work and are not appreciated enough, I have been a patient many times, I joke I have shares in the nhs.
I have had nothing but good things to say about the staff their dedication and care. It is wonderful.
They put you at ease, as they know your worried about the outcome, but take time to explain everything. What I like is they put you at ease by telling you their name and explain they are there all the time you are in hospital, and as an outpatient.
I find the same care and ease was given when I went with my husband for a heart echo. I was allowed to go in with him as he was so worried about the procedure but he didn't have to worry as the nurse put him at ease and assured him and I mentioned I was coming up for an echo and she checked the computer and my name was there so she examined me as well by giving me an echo as well. I am 75 years old and it saved me weeks of waiting and worry. I can't thank her enough she certainly went above and beyond I have nothing but admiration for all nhs staff they are so kind and they really do care your health is so precious and you know you are in very good hands with nhs staff.
I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences as both outpatient and an inpatient in the wards. Thanks again from a very happy patient
